The NHL is a big jump. Everyone is concerned he will get wiped and hurt really bad. This is a valid concern. Not to temper his talent, skill to date, it's something that has been repeated by his parents, burke, and everyone else.
While I personally love the hitting, the brutality within reason, the fighting within reason. The reason is never the intent to hurt or injure another player, but does happen accidentally. I think as a flames fan we want space for this kid and the newer kinder league to kick in, even though I don't want that as a fan at this point. I know I am a bad person. Lol.
